Ever since I found out about run0 I've been using that. I don't like having redundant software installed. Is it possible to safely remove sudo from an Arch Linux system? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I think you would need to blacklist it in pacman... however that is done. Otherwise it might just reinstall. It will probably break some script checks in random places, but it is not really a big hassle there. I get the same kinds of random errors with toolbox and distrobox containers that are often missing packages.

Some lower quality script (like I write) might do a check for sudo without error handling, but most will just test on uname or environment variables as far as I'm aware.

Why do you like this run0 more?
